We need to stand up for ourselves, right? Sometimes we need to forgive but not put ourselves back into the abusive situations. Forgiveness doesn't mean we have to like the person if that person continues to treat us like crap! Forgiveness at times means dusting the dirt from our sandals and moving on--leaving the dirt behind us and moving on in our lives. We need to leave the grudge and hurt in the past and move on.lulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136996474228528050noreply@blogger.com
